Well the Summer Holidays are almost over, so for this weeks Polka Doodles Digi Choosday project I have made a card for my Son who goes into year 2, his final year of infants school - wow where has the time gone?

One of the things he loves do is make Crystals, so I thought the cute Science Geek would be the perfect image to use. All the classes in his school are named by colour and he will be going into PINK class, hence the pink background.

I created the sentiment and the DNA strand in Silhouette Studio.

I added some Glossy accents to the Bottles and Glasses, not very visible in the photos

Skin - E04 E11 E21 E00 E000

Hair - E18 E15 YR23 Y21

Trousers & Goggles - C7 C5 C3

It's time for a new challenge at Digi Choosday and as usual now it is 'Anything Goes', so no excuse not to join in :)

I started by spraying some watercolor card with a mix of purple and blue inks and once dry some perfect pearls.

I had every intention of doing a conventional square card and then found this small frame I brought some time ago in the pound shop.

So I cut the background down and used the Summertime STAMP ME set to create a dragonfly and also stamps some flowers. I added a few dots of Stickles around the base of the flowers and a little trail behind the dragonfly.

It looked a little plain, so I edged the frame in flat back diamonds for lots of sparkle.

It is the turn of team Stella to bring you this Fortnights challenge and our theme is Theatrical.

I have wanted to colour Mitzi's Venetian Mask - Harlequinade for some time and thought this was the perfect challenge to use it for my DT inspiration.

I have visited Venice and couple of times, once as a child and about 6 years ago, I think is a beautiful and unique city and one of the things I love the most is the stunning venetian masks in all the shops.

On my last trip I purchased one in a lovely Emerald Green and Gold, which happens to also be the colour scheme I used for my wedding.

So here is my project with my Venetian mask.

I kept to two colour families, Green & yellow, with just a hint of gold in the some of the pearls on the image and I also outlined some elements with a gold gel pen. Finally I added a thin line of gold glitter around the image.

It doesn't show up very well, but the background is embossed with a harlequin pattern to match the mask.
